Dataset homepage

Citation

Oisín Duffy. General Biodiversity Records from Ireland. National Biodiversity Data Centre. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/w8q1jm accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-14.

Description

The records in this Dataset are general records of different taxonomic groups submitted to the National Biodiversity Data Centre. This provides a temporary facility to store and make available data submitted to the Centre, until such time as subsets of the data can be added to a recognised national database.

Purpose

To provide a facility for recorders to contribute to the knowledge of the distribution of species in Ireland and to make their records more freely avaiable.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

The bulk of the records contained in this Dataset are from either professional recorders or highly competent recorders working in a voluntary capacity. Not all of the data has been validated.

Method steps

  1. Data collected by different survey methods, but principally by direct field observation.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The island of Ireland
